Can I get a car at Willis Pre-Owned Ankeny inspected before I buy?

Yes. PPI Auto sends an inspector to the car on the lot in Ankeny. You do not have to be there. The inspection covers 122 points, a full OBD-II scan with readiness monitors, a road test and photos of anything found, and the report comes the same day. Ask the dealer to hold the car while it is checked.

How is the grade worked out?
